Helianthus 'Galilee Adami'

Good Qualities

Nice orange (8), orange ring in centers was unique; Early to flower (2); Healthy; The newer cultivars of sunflowers that keep appearing every year are an incremental improvement over the older cultivar and ‘Galilee Adami’ is typical of that change – nice presentation and has a more upright appearance longer; Some petals overlap, strong stem/neck; Side shoots produced small, dainty blooms that would look great in arrangements; ‘Galilee Adami’ was another productive, consistent cultivar, but not a real standout in the vast ocean of Helianthus offerings; Eight to ten-inch flowers, vigorous growth; Uniform flower production; Easy to grow, good bloom and stem size; Good plant height.

Problems

Large flower heads (3); Height varies a lot (2); Large green collar of smaller leaves around base of flower, which we removed; Stalk huge!!! Too big even with 6×6 spacing; I really could not distinguish between any of these cultivars, or maybe I should say the differences were more subtle than I could see-I think that they were too large, really thick stems, big heads even when direct seeded; Stems collapsed in our postharvest studies; Deer love them!; Another one that performed poorly in my fields and under my weather conditions, the seed company touts this as a “very early” variety so perhaps it was too warm when I planted it; Standard orange sunflower, similar to many; Gets too bushy.

Similar Cultivars

Looked a lot like the Sunbright series; ‘Sun4U Orange’; Many.

Comments

Harvested between 8/5-8/20 (direct seeded on May 28), the Agridera submissions from Gloeckner all did well; Overall a sturdy plant; Fine, not worth switching to; Flower head = 7 inches; May be insensitive to daylength; Would trade Sunrich or Sunbright series for any of them; Flowered around August 1 (sowed June 11, transplanted to field June 25), flower diameter 8 in. when fully open, medium stem thickness.

Postharvest

Remove leaves; Keep the vase solution clean; Bleach and water; We only used plain water.

See separate postharvest report for results from NC State University postharvest evaluations.
